What are your experiences with medication for psoriasis? I've been offered both tablets and light therapy, however I'm scared of starting tablets due to previous issues with other medications. Are tablets generally helpful? Have you had to try out many new ones before finding the right one? Do you think they're worth it (considering effectiveness and side effects etc)?

One person shared that they had a severe case of plaque psoriasis and started phototherapy about 3 times a week for about 3 months. They mentioned that after one year of phototherapy, their skin was clear. However, they also started an injection by Skirizi which changed their life. Another person mentioned that just moisturizing didn't work for them and nothing over the counter worked except for Nizoral shampoo. They recently started biologic injections (stelara specifically) and it has been effective so far. It's important to note that everyone's experience with medication can be different and what works for one person may not work for another.
